About stones; synthetic or reconstructed precious or semi-precious n.e.c. in heading 7104, worked or graded but not strung, mounted or set; ungraded synthetic or reconstructed precious or semi-precious stones, temporarily strung for convenience of transport

HS code 710499 covers a wide range of synthetic or reconstructed precious and semi-precious stones that have been worked or graded, but not strung, mounted, or set. These stones are often used in jewelry, decorative items, and various industrial applications. The global trade in these specialized stones is an important component of the broader gemstone and jewelry industry, which plays a significant role in the international economy.

Production process

The production of the stones covered under HS code 710499 typically involves a combination of advanced manufacturing techniques. This can include processes such as hydrothermal synthesis, chemical vapor deposition, and various cutting and polishing methods to shape and refine the stones. Manufacturers must carefully control the production parameters to ensure the desired properties, such as color, clarity, and hardness, are achieved.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the stones under HS code 710499 include a variety of raw materials, such as mineral compounds, chemical precursors, and specialized equipment. Manufacturers may also rely on advanced machinery and tools for cutting, grinding, and polishing the stones. Additionally, skilled labor and technical expertise are essential for the precise control and optimization of the production processes.

Production outputs

The stones produced under HS code 710499 are primarily used in the jewelry and decorative industries, as well as in certain industrial applications. These stones may be further processed and incorporated into finished products, such as 711311 Jewelry of silver, whether or not plated or clad with other precious metal, 711319 Jewelry of other precious metal, whether or not plated or clad with other precious metal, and 711620 Articles of jewelry and parts thereof, of precious metal other than silver. The trade in these specialized stones is an important component of the global gemstone and jewelry supply chain.
